This mother of Cestrinus was worshipped at Pergamum, a town allegedly named after one of her sons. While at Epirus, she gave birth to that city's future king, Molossus, and was accused of casting spells that led to barrenness of Hermione. This figure's father Eetion was the king of Thebes and would be killed by the same man who would eventually kill her husband. In a work of Euripides, this figure laments that death is better than life in bitterness because one feels no pain in death before she is ultimately consigned to be the war prize of her son's killer, Neoptolemus. In her most famous appearance, this figure holds that aforementioned son, Astyanax, as he cries in front of her husband in Book 6 of the Iliad. For ten points, name this Trojan princess, the wife of Hector.
